problems with autoconf and configuration examples

Sep 22, 2008, 5:48 AM

Post #1 of 8 (1984 views)

Last week, I referred in a very terse way to configure problems; to have
configure finish its job, I have to remove both PKG_CHECK_MODULES from
configure.ac:

./configure: line 26534: syntax error near unexpected token `RELP,'
./configure: line 26534: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(RELP, relp >= 0.1.1)'

and, after removing the RELP line group:

./configure: line 26560: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBLOGGING,'
./configure: line 26560: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBLOGGING, liblogging >= 0.7.1)'

As for the configuration examples, I still find references to
$ActionExecOnlyIfPreviousIsSuspended both on-line and in the sample
section of ./doc/rsconf1_actionexeconlywhenpreviousissuspended.html.

If there is no way to keep the previous syntax running and spewing a
deprecation warning, please do correct all the google reachable
pages showing the wrong syntax... and add a note like
"in the past, rsyslogd supported the now removed syntax
$ActionExecOnlyIfPreviousIsSuspended"

Thank you very much, yours

lorenzo

I unfortunately have no idea what this problem may be caused by. Can
someone with a better understanding of autotools help out?

Sorry if I am missing the obvious here (I am probably ;)), but I do not
get what exactly you are refering to. Please elaborate a bit.

Thanks,
Rainer

Please install the pkg-config package and re-run
autoreconf -vfi

Me again ;)

I have done some further testing today. I begin to think that the issue
left is only related to HUPing rsyslogd. Can you confirm this? Do
problems happen before the first HUP is sent?

Thanks,
Rainer

Did do the trick; still, I'm unsure if the requirement for pkg-config is
really justified just for two non-mandatory libraries.

Thank you very much, yours

The misleading documentation is available, both online at
http://kb.monitorware.com/problem-in-failover-syslogserver-t8465.html
http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/FailoverSyslogServer

There is a talk-back item for the wiki page at
http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Talk:FailoverSyslogServer

Whats strange is that the same error is repeated at
./doc/rsconf1_actionexeconlywhenpreviousissuspended.html

and that the $ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended is undocumented.

Thank you very much, yours,

lorenzo

pkg-config is *so* widely used nowadays, I was actually pretty
surprised you hadn't installed it by default.

Cheers,
Michael
